SY Nahlin
The Robertson and Sons wiki piece refers to the SY Nahlin as being built by the company. I have found this vessel from the correct period, but it is indicated to have been built by another firm.

SY Nahlin's TENDER
The entry indicates the TENDER was built at Robertson's Yard, not the S Y Nahlin (which was built at J Brown's on the Clyde)

Robertson's Yard specialised in building tenders (motor boats, lifeboats, owners motor launch, sailing dinghies etc) for larger yachts/ships (over 120 ft) which were usually constructed in the big shipyards further up the Clyde.

This luxurious 28ft LOA teak plank carvel motor launch was built to special order for the designer, at a cost of £246 7s 1d. This was logged as Robertson Boat 40 in the build ledger, and indicates that this was Mr G L Watson's last design. The company of Messrs G L Watson and Co went on to design many other boats.

SY Nahlin's TENDER Correction
Copied the info for the wrong tender Robertson's Yard Boat No 186. 30', 6 ton, Owner's Motor Launch: double skin mahogany; 2 cabins; electric lighting; 35 bhp Thornecroft engine. Built for the Steam Yacht Nahlin, owned by Lady Yule of Glasgow. The 296' SY Nahlin was built in 1930 by John Brown & Co Clydebank and designed by G L Watson & Co. They also supplied a Crew's Tender, which was boat No 187. D Hutchison — Preceding unsigned comment added by 94.173.17.4 (talk) 10:09, 4 January 2012 (UTC)

File:Alexander Robertson.jpg
Hi, I want to make sure that the copyright status of this item has been properly documented. Was this image ever published like in a book (or otherwise having copies distributed)? Or was it only kept with an original in a family photo album? Also, where was the photo taken? (Scotland?) And where was it published, if anywhere? Thanks, Calliopejen1 (talk) 19:48, 26 May 2016 (UTC)

This matter was discussed at length with a Permissions Editor before the photograph was restored on 27 March 2016, so I was under the impression the matter had been resolved. The date of the photograph is December 1895 and I believe it was taken in my great-grandfather's office in his boatyard at Sandbank, Argyll, Scotland. This photograph from the family album was published on page 42 of the June 2008 issue of Classic Boat Magazine. (Robertsonsyard (talk) 22:17, 26 May 2016 (UTC)).

Alexander Robertson & Sons
Hello, since images should not be squeezed between the text, I extended the wikitable and added 1 image + description. What to you think? Lotje (talk) 12:29, 7 March 2021 (UTC)

Hello Lotje,

It is extremely unlikely more boat photos will be added due to complicated copyright regulations in Wikipedia. The insertion of a photo in the table only makes the Wikipedia page untidy and highlights the fact that not many photos are available. ON BALANCE I WOULD DELET THE PHOTOS IN THE TABLE. Thanks for trying to help. David Robertsonsyard (talk) 12:36, 7 March 2021 (UTC).
